On Thursday morning, Stu told Daily Telegraph that he just had to meet her again.

"It’s a risk for someone like me to go on the show,” he told the outlet. “I ummed and aahed a lot but what got me over the line was that I just thought I saw something in Soph.

"When I first met her it was excellent and I really wanted to meet her again, and I had to go through the rigmarole to do it."

But it wasn't an easy decision. Stu has four young daughters and an ex-wife to consider.

"I’ve been pretty clear that I enjoyed married life with my ex-wife," he said. "I enjoyed my children and it wasn’t my decision [to end the relationship]. I was heartbroken. But you don’t want to be lonely so I’ve been trying to meet someone."

Well, it looks like he's finally met someone -- but whether she's The One -- we'll have to wait and see!
